Imagine how empowering it would be to tap into the minds of top scientists. And not just any top scientists, but rather, the very people who’ve devoted their lives to coming up with better treatments for your specific medical problem. Their views could have a profound impact on the choices you make about your health care—from which physicians you select to which treatments you try.

In this episode, we tell you about an internet-based research tool named PubMed.gov. It can help you quickly get your hands on straight-from-the-lab findings and conclusions published by the world’s leading experts in every medical field. Those published papers are often packed with important insights that can help shape your health-care decisions and make you a savvier patient.

We let you know how well PubMed.gov works based on three criteria:

• Is it effective?

• Is it easy to use?

• Is it inexpensive?

And we wrap up the episode by revealing the Painopolis rating we give PubMed.gov based on its usefulness, user-friendliness and cost (we’re tough graders, by the way). If you believe—as we do—that information is power, this episode is for you.
